Former President Donald Trump said FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday and broke into his safe in what his son acknowledged was part of an investigation into Trump's removal of official presidential records from the White House to his Florida resort. The unprecedented search of a former president's home would mark a significant escalation into the records investigation, which is one of several probes Trump is facing from his time in office and in private business. The U.S. Justice Department declined to comment on the search, which Trump in a statement said involved a "large group of FBI agents." The FBI's headquarters in Washington and its field office in Miami both declined comment.

People sink thousands of dollars in virtual move-to-earn game WingStep
He said he joined in mid-June, soon as the move-to-earn NFT app was released. He says: "I spent $500 on a pair of shoes. I broke even within 15 days, with the price of my virtual sneakers rising to $600." He had more than two years’ experience in NFT gaming and had carefully researched the project, and was confident it was a smart investment, especially since it had sponsored a number of blockchain events in the country. He borrowed money in mid-July to buy five more pairs of sneakers and two phones, which he combined with three phones he already had to start "farming." "I used to earn around $250 a day before repair costs. I had to repair my NFT sneakers twice a day on average. "I calculated that I would be able to pay off the debts and start making profits after about 25 days."

WSS, a reward token created in the game with unlimited supply, then dropped to $0.0008 … [Read more...] about People sink thousands of dollars in virtual move-to-earn game WingStep
Laws need amending for real estate projects
Illustrative photo. In these documents HoREA has asked for consideration in removing some bottlenecks and obstacles facing 116 real estate and commercial housing projects. The obstacles are related to many legal regulations, such as the Law on Housing 2014, Law on Real Estate Business 2014, Law on Land 2013, and Law on Construction 2014. Although the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has directed relevant departments, branches, districts, as well as Thu Duc City authorities to coordinate and consider proposals to resolve many pending issues, it seems that it is still very difficult to follow up on projects without amending the Laws. Shortcomings in Land Law After ten years of taking effect, the 2013 Land Law still shows many shortcomings, especially in the auction of land use rights. Regulations on the auction of land use rights are stipulated in many documents of various Laws, Government decrees, decisions of the Prime Minister, joint circulars between ministries and … [Read more...] about Laws need amending for real estate projects
Vietnamese picture books come back in favor
Vietnamese picture books come back in favor Only one month after its release, the Kim Dong Publishing House's series of picture books Chuyen o trong rung Vi vu (Stories in the Vi vu forest) of writer Truong Huynh Nhu Tran has been re-published. Being an author of children's literature, writer Huynh Nhu said that re-publishing of the picture books is of great pleasure for her as she has tried writing picture books just for a short time. With his experience in the publishing sector for years, Mr. Phan Cao Hoai Nam, editor of Kim Dong Publishing House, said that nowadays, children are afraid to read books with many words, so picture books are very much in favor. In addition, parents are so busy that they have spent little time reading books with their children; therefore, they resorted to short picture books to interact with their children. That is the advantage of picture books now, explained Mr. Phan Cao Hoai Nam. Several local authors such as Dao Trung Uyen, Phuong Huyen, … [Read more...] about Vietnamese picture books come back in favor
